Our Snow Vacation!
































Well, I have been waiting to blog about our trip to Mt. Bachelor because Kevin has pictures of Kacia skiing on his laptop that I keep forgetting to put on my computer. But, since I had a few minutes, I decided I would post about the rest of our trip. We had a great time! The house was awesome, the weather was really good at the beginning. The day Kacia went skiing was perfect, which also meant great days for sledding as well. But by the last part of our trip it just snowed and snowed and snowed! I have included a picture of the outside of the house because I love the snow in the trees. We got a little bit of cabin fever the last two days since it was really snowing too hard to be outside, but it was so pretty to watch from the inside! It did make me think of how different life was before kids. On snowy days like that I would have cuddled up next to the fireplace with my book and cup of coffee, instead of cleaning play dough up off the ground, breaking up arguments, etc. But I also realized the trip would have been so different if it was just us adults. We wouldn't have bothered sledding or ice skating, and it is so much fun to watch your kids have so much fun! Rylin loved sledding! (Which was really the only activity she was old enough for.) She kept wanting to go "again" and "faster"! Kacia enjoyed it all! She is eager to go up skiing again, and I am so thrilled that my kids get to learn this sport as children rather than as an adult! I am sure that by the time baby number 3 masters the bunny slope I too might be ready to try some different runs. But I have already prepared myself for the fact that they will master this skill much faster than I have! All in all a great time for our family and a wonderful time with our best friends! (I will post Kacia on the slopes later!)
